He divorced his fourth wife and wants to marry another; should he wait until her ‘iddah ends?

Question: 11435

If a man divorces his fourth wife and wants to marry another woman, does he have to wait until the ‘iddah of the divorced woman ends?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

It is haraam for the man who has divorced his fourth wife to marry another until the ‘iddah of the divorced woman has ended.

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
