Qur'anic verses - The Right to Privacy:

There is a great difference between the Qur'anic teaching and today's realities, whereby spying and invading individual's privacy inside their homes using electronic devices become common practice in modern societies. Gossip and defamation are sometimes used as tools to damage political or business opponents and rivals.

Islam forbids all these indecent acts against other which are usually motivated by greed, jealousy and hatred. No one would like to even think of such an abomination as eating the flesh of other human being.

According to Article 12 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948:

[No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.]


On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
