A Man's Marriage to His Uncle's or Aunt's Wife

Question
Is it permissible for a man to marry his uncle's or aunt's wife after his death?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is permissible to marry the wife of an uncle, maternal uncle, or brother after his divorce or separation; because her prohibition was temporary and has been lifted, and God knows best.
