In the context of eastwest.rtf, khulwa would work.

Other suggestions, which would necessitate rephrasing include the use
of 9ala infiraad, 9ala raaHatihi, 'an yakuuna waHdahu, 'an yakhlua
'ila nafsihi, 'an yakuuna fi ma9zilatin 9an il-'aakhariin.

  H. S. Karmi's *Al-Mughni  al-akbar* gives for "privacy:"
Khalwah,  tasattur  inziwa:'  ikhtila:'  takattum  sirran  and
khafa:' ,  with examples of usages.  Pp. 1054,5.  Beirut  1987.
/ taqiyyah / might be used more often by our Shi'a cousins.
Best wishes,
                                 Mike Schub

I'd translate privacy to XuSuuSiyyah.

Tahaiya tayyiba wa b3ad...
Hiyaakum Allah jamii3aan..

The term << 3uzla >> might equate more closely to "isolation" than to
"privacy."

Another term used for "privacy" (as opposed to a public aspect) is < khiSSa >
(S = saad with shedda).

Some context would help determine what might be suitable terms.

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Which of these terms would work in a context like 'the right to privacy'?
