Is It Permissible for a Muslim to Be a Martial Arts Trainer?
• There is nothing wrong with a Muslim working as a martial arts trainer if he can make learners avoid the evils of these arts. • Muay Thai or Thai kickboxing includes a number of objectionable matters such as striking the face, causing harm or injury to one’s opponent, uncovering `Awrah, and using musical instruments. So, it is not permissible to engage in this sport unless you avoid these objectionable matters. • There is nothing wrong with practising martial arts if they are free of the objectionable matters according to Islamic teachings
