Stopping someone from committing zina

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Would I be wrong if I anonymously tip off my ex-employer to investigate a suspected relationship between a CEO and collegue at my old place of work? The reason I ask is to try and end a relationship that I suspect my sister in-law is having with a CEO at my previous workplace. He is a married man…his wife is still in SA, while he is working in Namibia. We are Muslim, what does Islam advise regarding suspicion of zina?

Bismillaah

A: If they are involved in some indecent activity they must be stopped. Don’t disgrace them and embarrass them.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
