The answer

This annual subscription is permissible, and the lack of knowledge regarding the extent of benefit derived from it does not cause any harm, as it involves a slight (uncertainty), and the fee is determined in a way that accommodates this slight gharar. Muslims have unanimously agreed on the permissibility of matters involving slight gharar, such as selling a padded cloak, renting a house for a month, entering a public bath for a fee, and drinking from a water-skin for compensation. This is because necessity dictates engaging in such gharar, and it cannot be avoided except with difficulty, and it is an insignificant gharar.
