In Twelver Shia Islam, the Ancillaries of the Faith (Arabic: فروع الدين furūʿ ad-dīn) are a set of practices that Shia Muslims have to carry out.
According to Twelver doctrine, what is referred to as pillars by Sunni Islam are called the practices or secondary principles or obligatory acts. After the pillars of Islam, the Ancillaries of the Faith include jihad, Commanding what is just (Arabic: أمر بالمعروف), Forbidding what is evil (Arabic: النهي عن المنكر), Khums, a 20 per cent annual tax paid on any profit earned by Shi’a Muslims; Tawalla, showing love to God and other good Muslims; Tabarra, disassociation from the enemies of God.
