My question is can you get location coordinates latitude and longitude using WIFI or any other source when location is off or disabled. Basically I want to get current location when the GPS is not enabled

If location permission isn't granted or location settings are off, no. That's on purpose- the user doesn't want to give you their location, respect that. Now if it's just GPS but not location that's off you can use coarse location. That uses wifi only, is less accurate, but can be used with less battery drain than GPS.
