English translation of the principle

An obligation in solidum. Its sources are multiple while its subject matter remains one. A debtor under this obligation does not benefit from the establishment of the other’s liability so long as his own liability has been established. The creditor may claim the entire debt from any debtor under it and may bring an action against them all.
Arabic original
الالتزام التضاممي. يتعدد مصدره مع بقاء محله واحداً. المدين في هذا الالتزام لا يستفيد من ثبوت مسئولية الآخر ما دامت مسئوليته هو قد تحققت. يجوز للدائن أن يطالب أي مدين فيه بكل الدين ويستطيع أن يرفع الدعوى عليهم جميعاً.
