-Some jurists have extended the scope of awra to the voice as well. According to them, being awra entails the “obligation of concealment,” and the form of such concealment varies according to its object: just as the body must be concealed from sight, the voice must also be concealed from the hearing of an unrelated man. Therefore, irrespective of the prohibition of [[ghina]], the very act of [[Women’s Singing|making one’s voice audible to men]] (isma‘ al-sawt) becomes prohibited because a woman is awra.<ref>Eshtahardi, Madarik al-Urwa, vol. 15, p. 128.</ref>
+Some jurists broadened the definition of awra to include the voice too. According to them, being awra entails the “obligation of concealment,” and the manner of this concealment differs depending on its object: just as the body needs to be concealed from Non-Mahram's eyes, the voice must also be concealed from Non-Mahram's ears. Therefore, regardless of the prohibition of [[ghina]], the very act of [[Women’s Singing|letting men hear the sound]] (isma‘ al-sawt) will be prohibited because a woman is awra.<ref>Eshtahardi, Madarik al-Urwa, vol. 15, p. 128.</ref>
