Despite the growing body of scholarship on privacy and related rights in ethical and legal studies, the concept of bodily privacy has remained largely unexplored within a Qurʾanic framework and from an analytical perspective. Most existing studies have approached the subject either from a legal and jurisprudential standpoint or have defined it primarily in biological and physical terms. By contrast, the Holy Qurʾan presents a deeper, multilayered, and value-oriented understanding of the human body. Accordingly, the present study seeks to clarify the concept of bodily privacy from the perspective of the Qurʾan, with particular emphasis on its three foundational dimensions. Employing a descriptive-analytical methodology, the research draws upon Qurʾanic commentaries, hadith literature, and Islamic ethical studies for the collection and analysis of data. The findings demonstrate that bodily privacy in the Qurʾanic worldview rests upon three interrelated categories of foundations. The first consists of ontological foundations, which emphasize God's absolute ownership of the human body and humanity's conditional trusteeship over its use. The second comprises anthropological foundations, according to which the human body is the locus for the manifestation of reason, free will, and human dignity. The third includes axiological foundations, in which values such as modesty, the prohibition of bodily harm, and individual responsibility provide the ethical basis for bodily privacy. Consequently, bodily privacy in Qurʾanic discourse should be understood not merely as an individual right but as an integral component of human servitude to God and of the ethical structure of the Islamic community
