If a man's wife dies, is it permissible for him to marry immediately?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 3568 )
Q4: If a man's wife passes away, is it permissible for him to marry after
her death, whether it is a month or less or more?
Some scholars say that it is not permissible for him to marry until her waiting period reaches three months. I was surprised by this situation; is it correct or not?

A4: If a man's wife dies, he may marry whenever he wishes. There is no basis for what you mentioned regarding those you cited; rather, it is invalid. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
