Manner of charging students for tuition

Q: I am starting a business providing tuition to students. Can I charge them per month to be paid at the beginning of the month at a fixed fee, say R100 per lesson for 8 lessons, so R800 for the month. My concern is that they might not attend all the lessons but they have already paid, is this permissible?

A: You rather discuss it with them. If they are in agreement then it is alright.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
