The age of maturity is one of the most important issues in the jurisprudence book” Hijr”. The Shiite and Sunnite jurisprudents discussing prohibition of repossessing the properties deals with the maturity conditions. In this part they study maturity age of male and female and neuter. In this article jurisprudentially researching the writer reviews the verses and Riwayas and jurisprudents’ opinions concerning the age of male maturity. In this research he tries to research literally the influential words, then discuss the views of Shiite and Sunnite jurisprudents and show that there is no consensus about it. In this study the Quranic verses even refereed implicitly are considered too. To continue the hadiths concerned are jurisprudentially studied in nine parts. The results is that the specific age cannot be the reason, but according to the different opinions of the jurisprudents and lack of Quranic arguments and scattered Riwayas and mentioning the various ages for different subjects, a certain age is not the sign for maturity and another reason such as growing pubic hair but specially having wet dream should be sufficed
