The answer

The recording of evil deeds against a servant is tied to puberty and intellect.

Puberty is linked to sexual maturity and has signs such as: wet dreams, the appearance of pubic hair, reaching fifteen lunar years of age, and menstruation for women.

Intellect is the comprehension of discourse and the ability to distinguish between things. Whoever can differentiate between the good and bad of things is considered intelligent and accountable for their actions.

As for the age of maturity (legal age), there is no specific age for it according to the majority of jurists, and it signifies good management of wealth and the ability to invest it.
