English translation of the principle

A company—other than an undisclosed partnership—has legal personality and a patrimony independent of the personalities and patrimonies of its partners. The effect thereof. A partner's contribution leaves his ownership and passes to the company; consequently, the partner's creditors may not attach any of the company's assets, even if their debt is what the partner contributed as his interest in the company.
Arabic original
للشركة - عدا شركة المحاصة - شخصية معنوية وذمة مالية مستقلة عن شخصية وذمم الشركاء فيها. أثر ذلك. خروج حصة الشريك عن ملكيته وانتقالها إلى الشركة وبالتالي لا يجوز لدائني الشريك أن يحجزوا على شيء من أموال الشركة ولو كان دينهم هو المقدم من الشريك كحصة في الشركة.
