Article 429 of Civil Code

English translation

If an action concerning the debt is barred by lapse of time when set-off is invoked, that shall not prevent set-off from taking place so long as the period required to bar the hearing of the action had not elapsed at the time when set-off became possible.
Arabic original
إذا كان الدين لا تسمع به الدعوى لمرور الزمان وقت التمسك بالمقاصة فإن ذلك لا يمنع من وقوع المقاصة ما دامت المدة اللازمة لعدم سماع الدعوى لم تكن قد تمت في الوقت الذي أصبحت فيه المقاصة ممكنة.
