Adolescence
Question
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.
Answer
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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
