Article 269 of Code of Civil Procedure

English translation

A disposition of the immovable property by the debtor, the possessor, or the third-party security provider shall not be effective, nor shall any mortgage or preferential right arising therefrom be effective, against the attaching creditors, even if they are unsecured creditors, or against the successful bidder, if the disposition, mortgage, or preferential right was publicly registered after registration of the attachment application. The fruits and revenues of the immovable property for the period following registration of the attachment application shall be included with the property, and the revenue and the price of the fruits and crops shall be deposited in the treasury of the Enforcement Department. If the immovable property is not leased, the person against whom attachment is levied shall be deemed its custodian until the sale is completed. The person against whom attachment is levied who resides in the immovable property may continue residing therein without rent until the sale is completed. If the immovable property is leased, the rent due for the period following registration of the attachment application shall be deemed attached in the hands of the tenant as soon as the attaching creditor, or any creditor holding an enforceable instrument, directs the tenant not to pay it to the debtor. If the tenant pays the rent before such direction, the payment shall be valid, and the person against whom attachment is levied shall be accountable for it in their capacity as custodian.
Arabic original
لا ينفذ تصرف المدين او الحائز او الكفيل العيني في العقار ولا ينفذ كذلك ما يترتب عليه من رهن او امتياز في حق الحاجزين ولو كانوا دائنين عاديين ولا في حق الراسي عليه المزاد إذا كان التصرف او الرهن او الامتياز قد حصل شهره بعد تسجيل طلب الحجز. تلحق بالعقار ثماره وايراداته عن المدة التالية لتسجيل طلب الحجز ويودع الايراد وثمن الثمار والمحصولات خزانة ادارة التنفيذ، واذا لم يكن العقار مؤجرا اعتبر المحجوز عليه حارسا الى ان يتم البيع وللمحجوز عليه الساكن في العقار ان يبقى ساكنا فيه بدون اجرة الى ان يتم البيع واذا كان العقار مؤجرا اعتبرت الاجرة - المستحقة عن المدة التالية لتسجيل طلب الحجز - محجوزة تحت يد المستأجر وذلك بمجرد تكليفه من الحاجز او أي دائن بيده سند تنفيذي بعدم دفعها للمدين واذا وفي المستأجر الاجرة قبل هذا التكليف صح وفاؤه وسئل عنها المحجوز عـلـيـه بوصفه حارسا.
