Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with leaving him to try it out, whilst also reminding him of how easy this worship is and the great effect it will have on the soul, if he does it and is sincere towards Allaah, and that it is only prescribed for a great reason and not to cause difficulty for man.
