Question:
Assalaamu Alaikum wrwb,
My brother who is in his early 20s always takes very long showers, half hour or more.Sometimes more than once a day he takes a shower.Many times we mention to him it is not good to waste water,but no change in his behavior. How can we solve this issue? What can we as a family do to make him realize to shower less long and not to waste water? This problem has been going on for many years.
Please advice on this matter. Thank you very much.
