Zero-field muon-spin-relaxation $(\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR})$ measurements have been carried out in order to investigate the effect of nonmagnetic impurities on the dynamics of the Cu-spin fluctuations in the Zn-substituted ${\mathrm{La}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}{\mathrm{Zn}}_{y}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ with $x=0.115$ and 0.13, changing y from 0 to 0.10. A long-range-ordered state of Cu spins, which is observed in the Zn-free sample with $x=0.115,$ disappears in the Zn-free sample with $x=0.13,$ but appears again in the Zn-substituted samples with $x=0.13$ for $yg~0.0075.$ The long-range-ordered state disappears for $yg0.03$ for both values of x, so that the Cu spins are in a paramagnetic state. The present $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{SR}$ results support the suggestion that a small amount of nonmagnetic impurities produces a pinning of the dynamical stripe correlations of spins and holes and make them statically stabilized, while a large amount of nonmagnetic impurities destroy the stripe correlations themselves.
