Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
If a person commits a sin, then the family members are not allowed to physically harm the person in any way. It is the role of the Muslim government, not the citizens, to establish punishments for sins, such as zinā. In the lack of such a government, the family members should take other preventive measures, such as getting the woman married, to ensure such mistakes are not repeated.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
