AB  - Article 264 of the Iranian Civil Code dwells on the discharge of obligation. 
  The objective of this study is to address the lacunae and ambiguities identified 
  in the said article. Toward this end, the article proposes a new classification 
  of the means for the discharge of obligation which is in tune with legal developments 
  in a new world, as well as a set of definitions for five of the six means of 
  discharge left undefined in Article 264. The article begins by interrogating 
  the classification of the means of discharge of and obligation contained and 
  in Article 264, the lack of suitable definitions and the French influence on 
  the drafting of the said article. The article then outlines other possible means 
  for the discharge of obligation not contained in article 264 but are only mentioned 
  in passing in different parts of the Civil Code. Following this, an alternative 
  classification of the means for the discharge of obligation, comprising both 
  direct and indirect means, is offered. The study also draws upon the views of 
  other Islamic commentators on the scope for the improvement of Article 264. 
  This article is a library-based research and the method is analytic and critical.
