Is it lawful for a man to marry immediately after his wife's death?
Q 4: Is it permissible for a man whose wife died to marry (Part No. 18; Page No. 28) one month or more or less after her death? Some scholars are of the opinion that such a man may not marry unless her `Iddah (waiting period) of three months is over. This seems very strange to me. Is it true?
A: It is permissible for a man whose wife died to marry whenever he likes. The opinion of the scholars you mentioned is groundless, and is therefore null and void. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
