English translation of the principle

The injured party’s recourse against the insurance company to obtain compensation. It does not preclude his recourse against the person responsible for causing the damage and the person liable for that damage on the basis that the former is subordinate to the latter. The reason therefor. The legal basis of each one’s liability differs from that of the others. Ordering them to pay diyah and compensation concurrently. No defect.
Arabic original
رجوع المضرور على شركة التأمين لاستئداء التعويض. غير مانع له من الرجوع على المسئول عن إحداث الضرر والمسئول عن هذا الضرر باعتبار الأول تابع للثاني. علة ذلك. اختلاف الأساس القانوني لمسئولية كل منهم عن الآخر. إلزامهم بالتضامم بالدية والتعويض. لا عيب.
