An obligation in solidum. Its sources are multiple while its subject remains one.

The creditor may claim the entire debt from any debtor among them and may bring the action against all of them.
Arabic original
الالتزام التضاممي. يتعدد مصدره مع بقاء محله واحداً. المدين في هذا الالتزام لا يستفيد من ثبوت مسئولية الآخر مادامت مسئولية مدينه تحققت . يجوز للدائن أي يطالب أي مدين فيهم بكل الدين ويستطيع أن يرفع الدعوى عليهم جميعاً.
