There is no objection to learning or teaching karate for men and women, provided that compliance is observed, such as avoiding free mixing, adhering to the-Sharia-compliant dress code, observing prayer times, and avoiding striking the face. Therefore, it is not permissible for the questioner to work as a coach unless these controls are met, and his argument is not a justification for remaining in a forbidden occupation.
