إذا أقر الحر البالغ العاقل بحق لزمه إقراره
When a free, adult, legally sane person acknowledges a right, that acknowledgment binds the person.
Lazimahu describes a legal consequence, not merely an ethical recommendation. The reference to freedom reflects the historical law of slavery discussed in classical fiqh. A competent adult acknowledging a debt provides an ordinary illustration of the rule.
