The answer

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.
