Adolescence in Shariah: Understanding the Islamic Perspective

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I would like to know what is meant by adolescence being an age of madness according to Shariah? Also, what is the Islamic perspective on adolescents? I am doing research for a Madrasah assignment.

Bismillaah

A: Generally, a person who is in his adolescence is overcome by emotions and he cannot reason correctly and he falls into wrong.

A normal person who reaches the age of puberty becomes answerable for all his actions.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
