Explanation of Article 290

This article addresses the statement of "fulfillment before the due date," which means that the debtor fulfills the debt before the due date. The article stipulates that it is permissible to fulfill the debt before the due date unless there is an agreement or statutory provision to the contrary. For example, if the contracting parties agree that the debt may not be fulfilled before the due date, then in this case, the debt may not be fulfilled before the due date.

It is worth noting that this ruling applies to all types of obligations, whether they are contracts, declarations, releases, or otherwise.

This article is considered one of the most important articles related to fulfillment before the due date, as it clarifies the impact of fulfillment before the due date on the obligation.
