The Term of Adolescence

Question
Is there a term for adolescence in Islam?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is a juristic term found in the books and refers to the approach of wet dreams. Ibn Abidin mentioned in "Radd al-Muhtar" (282:2) when he defined the limit of desire: he said regarding males: it occurs at the age of adolescence, which is the desire when one reaches the age of twelve.
