ANSWER:

It’s not permissible to go nor to contribute as Allah ordered us in the Quran not to assist each other in evil and sins.

QUESTION: At my university, senior students in our department are organizing a welcome party (female only) for the juniors and are collecting money for it. The party includes activities like music and dancing, so I don’t want to attend. Would it be sinful to contribute money but not go? How should I respond to those insisting that payment is mandatory?
