Article 356 of Civil Code

English translation

If the creditor reaches a settlement with one of the solidary debtors and the settlement includes remission of the debt or discharge from it by any other means, the others shall benefit from it. However, if the settlement would impose an obligation on them or increase their existing obligations, it shall not be effective against them unless they accept it.
Arabic original
إذا تصالح الدائن مع أحد المدينين المتضامنين، وتضمن الصلح الإبراء من الدين أو براءة الذمة منه بأية وسيلة أخرى . استفاد منه الباقون، أما إذا كان من شأن هذا الصلح أن يرتب في ذمتهم التزامًا أو أن يزيد فيما هم ملتزمون به فإنه لا ينفذ في حقهم إلا إذا قبلوه.
