Official text (Arabic)

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

إذا كان المطلوب من المدين هو المحافظة على الشيء أو القيام بإدارته أو توخي الحيطة في تنفيذ التزامه، فإنه يكون قد وفى بالالتزام إذا بذل في تنفيذه عناية الشخص المعتاد ولو لم يتحقق الغرض المقصود، ما لم يقض نص نظامي بخلاف ذلك، أما إذا كان المطلوب هو تحقيق غاية فلا يُعدُّ الوفاء حاصلًا إلا بتحقق تلك الغاية.
