There is a number of Scholars allowing Nikah Mut'ah.

[edit] Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi`i

Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi`i, a 9th century Sunni Shafi'i Islamic scholar writes:

“ Nikah Mut'ah is our eyes is false, whilst Imam Malik deemed it permissible, as proof he says it was halaal and permissible, it was removed and was not abrogated [1][2] ”
“ Mut'ah cannot be Nikah, Mut'ah is false, it should not be practised, Ibn Abbas and Imam Malik had differing views, in their views this was practicable[3][2] ”

[edit] Ahmad ibn Hanbal

Ahmad ibn Hanbal, a 9th century Sunni Islamic scholar writes:

“ In the same way that Ibn Abbas deemed Mut'ah to be halaal, Imam Ibn Hanbal also stated Mut'ah was halaal [4] ”
“ Ibn Abbas and other party amongst the Sahaba narrated traditions that Mut'ah is halaal, and Ibn Hanbal also said that it was practicable[5] ”
“ Ibn Abbas another Sahaba said that Mut'ah can be utilised when needed, Ibn Hanbal also narrated the same[6] ”

[edit] Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi

Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, a 20th century Sunni Islamic scholar writes:

“ Whether Mut'ah is haram or halaal is a dispute that creates dissension between Shi'as and Sunnis, and has resulted in heated discussion, it is not difficult to ascertain the truth. A man comes across such situations when Nikah becomes impossible and he is forced to make a distinction between Zina and Mut'ah. In such scenarios practising Mut'ah is a better option to Zina [7] ”
