The right to privacy is one of the fundamental values that ensures human freedom and preserves dignity. This right has received considerable attention in contemporary legal systems. However, its roots extend far deeper, as we find clear foundations for it in the Prophetic biography, which provided a practical and ethical framework that guarantees individuals' right to privacy, based on the principles of Islamic law that safeguard human dignity and protect personal life.
This study explores the concept of the right to privacy in Islam through an examination of the Prophetic biography. It reviews how the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his Household) established a practical framework to protect this right across various fields. The research relies on a historical-analytical methodology based on inductive readings of the Qur’anic and historical Prophetic biography related to the right to privacy, offering interpretive analysis of these texts and drawing on historical sources connected to the life of the Prophet. It also highlights practical applications of privacy in the Prophet’s life (peace be upon him and his Household), whether within the family, in society, or in state administration.
Through this methodology, the research aims to present a comprehensive and precise understanding of this right as it manifested in the Prophetic biography. From this analysis, it attempts to outline an integrated vision of how modern Muslim societies can benefit from Prophetic values to enhance the protection of privacy in light of current challenges, particularly in the context of technological advancement and the expansion of digital surveillance tools.
