Official text (Arabic)

This article has not been amended since the law was issued.

1- ينتهي حق الانتفاع بهلاك الشيء المنتفع به، إلا أنه إذا دُفِع عنه تعويض انتقل حق الانتفاع إلى العوض وعلى المنتفع أن يرد عينه أو بدله -حسب الأحوال- بعد انتهاء حقه في الانتفاع.

2- إذا كان الهلاك راجعًا إلى خطأ المالك فإنه يجبر على إعادة الشيء إلى حالته الأولى إذا كان ذلك ممكنًا، ويعود حق الانتفاع للمنتفع.
