+# function-unquote-no-unquoted-strings-inside
+
+Disallow unquoted strings inside the [unquote function](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/functions/string#unquote)
+
+```scss
+p {
+  font-family: unquote(Helvetica);
+  /**          ↑     ↑
+   * This function call is unnecessary
+   */
+}
+```
+
+## Options
+
+### `true`
+
+The following patterns are considered violations:
+
+```scss
+a {
+  font-family: unquote(Helvetica);
+}
+```
+
+```scss
+$font: Helvetica;
+p {
+  font-family: quote($font);
+}
+```
+
+The following patterns are _not_ considered violations:
+
+```scss
+a {
+  color: unquote("blue");
+}
+```
+
+```scss
+$font: "Helvetica";
+p {
+  font-family: unquote($font);
+}
