English translation of the principle

An action for recovery of possession. It may not be opposed by an action concerning title. The reason therefor: it is based on redressing unlawful interference with possession without regard to the capacity of the possessor or entering into examination of title. It suffices that its claimant has present physical possession placing him in actual contact with the real property at the time of the dispossession.
Arabic original
دعوى استرداد الحيازة. عدم جواز دفعها بدعوى الحق. علة ذلك:أنها تقوم على رد الاعتداء غير المشروع على الحيازة دون النظر إلى صفة واضع اليد أو التعرض لبحث الحق. كفاية أن يكون لرافعها حيازة مادية حالة تجعل يده متصلة بالعقار اتصالاً فعلياً وقت وقوع الغصب.
