Calculating qadha Salaah

· 3 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

One is not aware when one became matured i.e. became baalig. To then calculate all one’s missed (Quaza) salaats from when one became mature, should the calculation be deemed from the age of 12 or 15?

Answer

If one did not experience a wet dream before the age of fifteen, then one should calculate from the age of fifteen.

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