Meaning
Using any method or resource available.
Cultural Background
The phrase reflects the concept of 'Tadbir' (prudence/management). Iranians value the ability to find a way out of a 'bonbast' (dead end). In Iranian business, saying you will do something 'به هر طریقی' is a strong commitment that builds trust and shows you are a 'zerang' (clever) partner. Students often use this during 'Shab-e Emtehan' (the night before the exam) to express their desperate need to pass. The word 'Tariq' connects to Sufism (Tariqat), where the path to truth is individual and varied.
Add 'که شده' for emphasis
Saying 'به هر طریقی که شده' (Be har tariqi ke shode) makes you sound like a native speaker who is 100% committed.
Don't sound too aggressive
In social settings, using this too much can make you seem stubborn or pushy. Use it sparingly for personal favors.
