Not sure if one is baaligh
Question
I am 14 Islamically and I am not sure if I am baaligh. I have released mazi and probably wadi but not mani. Am I baaligh? If I am, then since when. What is the ruling on my qadha fast and zakaat?
Answer
Mazi etc. comes out just before mani. Mazi comes out at the time sexual feelings are strong. These are all signs of maturity.
What you are not sure about don't pay attention to it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
