When a group of friends are having a gathering, it's nice when everyone offers to put shwayyat filuus in al-jumlah without being asked.
Not that Talab by the host to make a monetary contribution is a bad thing, it's just that it has potential to open a can of worms. How much should you tiyiib? Too little may come across as la:iin. Too much and the gesture may seem more like showing off than being kariim.
Maybe the best contribution is when someone yiyiib something that doesn't simply have a price, but instead tells you something about who they are.
