English translation of the principle

Multiple sources of an obligation while its subject matter remains one. Effect thereof. The creditor may demand the entire debt from all the debtors or from any one of them, as they are liable for it in solidum, and none may benefit from the other's liability so long as his own liability has been established.
Arabic original
تعدد مصدر الالتزام مع بقاء محله واحداً. أثره. للدائن أن يطالب كل المدينين أو أحدهم بكل الدين لالتزامهم تضاممياً به وليس لأي منهم أن يستفيد من مسئولية الآخر ما دامت مسئوليته هو قد تحققت.
