Selected
to railroad legislation
this is the term mostly used in English to mean that legislation is quickly passed so that legislators don't have sufficient time to consider all aspects of the bill.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=railroad
To rush or push (something) through quickly in order to prevent careful consideration and possible criticism or obstruction: railroad a special-interest bill through Congress.
Although it's put down as informal, it is mostly definitely used commonly in politics and journalism.

fast-track(ing) laws/ legislation
I am not familiar with the Arabic expression, and it seems to encompass more than just the idea of fast-tracking a law, but that is the best option I can think of at the moment.
Legislation is sometimes fast-tracked in cases of emergency.

Rushed legislation/Rushed laws
"Rushed legislation is bad legislation" or "A rushed law is a bad law". It seems to be an old adage.
Rushed legislation is always bad legislation:
