This article analyses the debates surrounding the ʿawra (nudity or nakedness in Arabic) of the female voice – what I call here vocal nudity – and the public presence of the female voice in Nigeria. It focuses on the preaching activities of two Muslim female preachers, Malama Khadija Gambo Hawaja and Malama Dr Zahrau Muhammad Umar, who present tafsīr (Qurʾanic interpretation; Hausa: tafsīrin azumi) to the public during Ramadan and rose to prominence through the publicity of their audio and video sessions and fatwas offered to women. I discuss their interpretation of verse 33.32, the only verse that refers to the female voice in the Qurʾan, their understanding of vocal nudity, and how they use the interpretations to reshape the concept of a righteous woman (Hausa: mace ta gari) in twenty-first-century Muslim West Africa.

本文分析了围绕女性声音的ʿawra（阿拉伯语中的裸体或裸体）的辩论——我在这里称之为声音裸体——以及女性声音在尼日利亚的公开存在。它侧重于两位穆斯林女性传教士 Malama Khadija Gambo Hawaja 和 Malama Dr Zahrau Muhammad Umar 的讲道活动，她们介绍了 tafsīr（古兰经解释；豪萨语：tafsīrin azumi) 在斋月期间向公众开放，并通过宣传他们的音频和视频会议以及向妇女提供的教令而声名鹊起。我讨论了他们对第 33.32 节的解释，这是《古兰经》中唯一提到女性声音的经文，他们对声音裸体的理解，以及他们如何使用这些解释来重塑 20 世纪正义女性（豪萨语：mace ta gari）的概念-一世纪的穆斯林西非。
