Restricted Social Solidarity Preamble This chapter deals with some other Islamic economic policies, unobserved by the Islamic state, that the (‘a) carried out, confirming that these policies and duties had been enacted in the religious law of Islam of which details are known by the (‘a) more than anyone else.

They also determined certain strategies, duties and teachings that were restricted to the individuals of the virtuous community because they helped treat urgent problems that arose or helped put their economic activity on the right track.

In this respect, we touch on three main areas: • The Imam and the general political system • The individuals of the virtuous community and their responsibilities towards one another • The economic activities of the virtuous community These areas include the following measures: • Khums paid from profits • Restricted social solidarity (rights of brethren-in-faith) • Focused economic activity Khums Paid From Profits Khums is believed to be one of the most important economic legislations in the religious, economic theory of Islam, especially as viewed by the (‘a).

The origin of its enactment and related laws are derived from the Holy Qur'an as well as authentic, clear-cut texts of the Holy Sunnah. Khums , because of its high percentage (20%) and the large circle of finances subject to it, creates one of the most vital resources of the Islamic state.
