Article 392 of Civil Code

English translation

1- For performance to be valid, the person rendering performance must own the thing with which he renders performance and have capacity to dispose of it. 2- Nevertheless, performance by a person of diminished capacity of something due from him shall be valid if the performance causes him no harm. 3- If the debtor pays the debt of some creditors during his death illness, and his assets are insufficient to pay all his debts, and payment of the debt consequently harms the remaining creditors, the payment shall not be effective against those remaining creditors.
Arabic original
١- يــشترط لصحــة الوفــاء أن يكــون المــوفي مالــًكا لــلشيء الــذي وفى به، وأن يكــون أهًلا للــتصرف فيه. 2- ومــع ذلــك فالوفــاء مــن ناقــص الأهليــة بشيء مســتحق عليــه يكــون صحيحــا إذا لم يلحــق الوفــاء ضررا بــه. 3- وإذا وفى المديــن بديــن بعــض الدائــنين وهــو في مرض موتــه وكان ماله لا يســع الوفاء بجمــع ديونــه فــأدى الوفــاء بالديــن إلى الإضرار ببقيــة الدائــنين فــإن الوفــاء لا ينفــذ في حــق هــؤلاء البــاقين.
