English translation of the principle

The death of a partner in a general partnership is not a ground for its dissolution so long as the death does not result in failure to meet the minimum number of partners. Any heir of the deceased partner may request to be considered a limited partner unless a provision in the memorandum of association or the company's articles prevents this.
Arabic original
وفاة الشريك في شركة التضامن ليست سبباً لانقضائها طالما لم يترتب على الوفاة الإخلال بالحد الأدنى لعدد الشركاء. جواز أن يطلب أي من ورثة الشريك المتوفى اعتباره شريكاً بالتوصية ما لم يوجد نص في عقد التأسيس أو نظام الشركة يحول دون ذلك.
