sisters and brothers,
I have wondered this for years when a Muslim person commits adultery what gives other Muslims the right to stone them to death. Does Allah (swt) give them good deeds for this or dose the person who stoned them get punished? The reason I ask this is because Muslims say its haram to kill and this is one of the biggest sins but then again when someone commits adultery it’s ok to kill them I don’t understand this because in a way it’s hypocritical I think no one has the right to kill and punish except Allah (swt). What are your views about this??

your question needs a little pause and reflection. So hold on and lets look at what Allah says directly to you and I.

[Hilali-Khan] And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord, and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2). [3:133]
Those who spend [in Allah's Cause - deeds of charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress anger, and who pardon men; verily, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers). [3:134]
And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) or wronged themselves with evil, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins; - and none can forgive sins but Allah - And do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know. [3:135]
For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allah's Orders). [3:136]
Many similar ways (and mishaps of life) were faced by nations (believers and disbelievers) that have passed away before you (as you have faced in the battle of Uhud), so travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah, and disobeyed Him and His Messengers). [3:137]

Now if you read the ayah 3:135 tafsir, the commentary mentions something to the effect that the Jews used to post signs or markings on the door of the house of who committed adultery. They used to say something to the effect may Allah cut his/her ear off. So on and so forth. The community will also treat the people very differently, like in a disgust way. So Allah sent this ayah down to the muslims, to allow repentance and in silence.
Of course where there rule of law, there are some very difficult requirements to like accuse and try a person of adultery. First there needs to be 4 witnesses. Let's face it, what is the chances that 4 people would come upon a person committing such an act. But nevertheless, it is Allah who states the way we should live, we just say we listen and obey.
sorry I didn't answer you with exactly what you are looking for, but this is what I know.
