The answer

Purchasing advertising space (Media Buying) falls under the category of selling services or benefits. It is a lease contract (Ijara) whose validity requires the knowledge of both compensation elements: the rent (Ajr) and the benefit (Manfa'a), as it is a compensation in an exchange contract. The knowledge of the benefit is achieved by estimating the duration or the work. Therefore, if the rent and the extent of the benefit are known, and the ambiguity regarding them is removed, there is no objection to executing it automatically.
