The Crime of Infringing on Private Life by Using a Mobile Phone in Sharia and Law

Abstract

The relentless and continuous technological advancements in modern means of communication pose a significant threat to the right to privacy. This threat stems from the ease with which individuals' secrets, thoughts, and personal information can be spied on, on the one side, and the difficulty of proving the resulting violations before the judiciary, on the other side. Given the seriousness and growing volume of crimes that affect privacy using mobile phones, this research will address the crime of privacy violations through mobile phone use and the role of Sharia and law in combating and confronting this crime. The researcher also recommends raising awareness of information security and the seriousness of the crime of intrusion on privacy through the use of mobile phones.
