If persons are present inside the premises during the search, the person conducting the search may place them under the necessary guard if he fears that they may obstruct, impede or resist the search. If he has serious indications that one of these persons is concealing in his body or clothing something being searched for, he may search him immediately.
Arabic original
إذا وجد اشخاص داخل المحل اثناء تفتيشه ، فللقائم بالتفتيش ان يضعهم تحت الحراسة اللازمة إذا خشي قيامهم بعرقلة التفتيش او تعطيله او مقاومته، وإذا قامت لديه قرائن جدية على ان أحد هؤلاء الاشخاص يخفي في جسمه او ملابسه شيئا ممـا يدور البحث عنه، فله ان يفتشه فورا.
