English translation of the principle

A cheque is an instrument of payment. Drawing it does not discharge its owner, and his obligation is extinguished only upon payment of its value. Reason therefor. It is payment conditional upon collection. - Material facts may be proved by all means of proof.
Arabic original
الشيك أداة وفاء. سحبه لا يعتبر مبرئاً لذمة صاحبه ولا ينقضي التزامه إلا بصرف قيمته. علة ذلك. أنه وفاء معلق على شرط التحصيل. - الوقائع المادية يجوز إثباتها بكافة طرق الإثبات.
