Maturation is reaching an age of physical and sexual development both in boys and girls. There is no need for its explicit expression by the religious laws because it is more of a natural issue than a legal matter. However, religious laws propose a set of signs for facilitating its recognition. Quran refers to the start of menstruation, nocturnal emission and the emergence of sex organs. There are some religious stories drawing on verses from Quran that add age to the list too. Therefore, different viewpoints have emerged that adduce the popular doctrine that consider age 9 as the age of maturation and some others that argue that there is no mention of age in such verses and refer to the fact that maturation concerns development. Therefore, in our article, signs are divided into two groups, one that is individual signs like menstruation, nocturnal emission and emergence of sex organs and the second one that is typical sign of age. Then all of them are evaluated and the conclusion drawn signifies that no single criterion should be applied, that is, the difference in the emergence of individual signs cause a difference in maturation which must be evaluated using a typical sign and not solely the criterion of age
