A better implementation would be using .toggleClass(): 

$(document).ready(function () {
     $("#minus").click(function () {
         $("#minus").toggleClass( "fa-minus" );
         $("#minus").toggleClass( "fa-plus" );
     })
})
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<script
  src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"
  integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo="
  crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<i id="minus" class="fa fa-minus fa-2x" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Looks like you are adding new class but not removing the previous class when adding a new class so the element displays the icon class of which comes last in the stylsheet.

     $("#minus").click(function () {
         $("#tog").slideToggle();
         if (  $("#minus").hasClass("fas fa-minus")) {
             $("#minus").addClass("fa-plus").removeClass('fa-minus')
         }else {
             $("#minus").addClass("fa-minus").removeClass('fa-plus')
         }
     })
