Privacy is something that Allah ﷻ has prescribed in different situations. It's the right of each individual to limit information about themselves toward others. Whoever abuses this or disregards it ...
This is what the US Declaration of Independence says about unalienable rights.
Privacy is an unalienable right.
Brave Search summarizes it nicely:
The phrase "**endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights**" originates from the **Declaration of Independence** (1776) and asserts that fundamental human rights are **natural** and **inherent**, rather than granted by government. These rights, which explicitly include **Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness**, are considered **unalienable**, meaning they **cannot be surrendered, transferred, or taken away** by any human authority.
Key implications of this principle include:
- **Source of Rights**: Rights are derived from a higher power (the Creator) or natural law, establishing that individuals possess these rights by virtue of their humanity.
- **Role of Government**: Governments are instituted solely to secure these pre-existing rights, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
- **Right to Revolution**: If a government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and institute new government.
- **Legal Foundation**: This concept underpins the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which protect individual liberties that exist prior to and independent of civil law.
