What is the ruling on giving out the phone numbers of entities whose work does not conform to Islamic Sharia, such as banks, churches, tobacco companies, women's hairdressing salons, and beauty centers?

Providing contact numbers for specific parties to callers does not necessitate engaging in a forbidden transaction. Thus, it is not forbidden to give these numbers to someone whose situation is unknown and who is not known to be using them to facilitate a forbidden transaction, even if it is highly probable that contacting these parties might be for a forbidden matter. This applies to those who work in number provision services, as they do not know the caller's situation or intention.
