in any culture under any circumstances would not ask for such a thing.I have a balinese friend who would not even accept offer of food let alone money without a long discussion.
It is true they are in hard times but once you give in and they think there is a money tree you will be forever asked.
This will be a touchy subject I am sure, good luck with your decision making.
