The Prohibition of Marrying the Grandfather's Wife

Question
Is it permissible to marry the grandfather's wife from the mother's side after the grandfather's death?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The wife of the grandfather, from any side, is one of the prohibited women that it is not permissible to marry, just like the wife of the father; because she is among those whom the fathers have married, and God knows best.
