Asaalamun alaikum,
Does Islam permit a woman to decide not to remarry for the rest of her life after the death of her husband regardless of her age, and knowing that she will abstain from any form of adultery?
Many women of Sahabah stayed without marriage after divorce or the death of their husbands.. and there's no script or Fatwa against it... so it ok.
But it would be better for a woman to have a husband by her side, to see for her needs... and help her raise her children...
salam alikom

Sister, I can't find any daleel. But we all know the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) encourage marriage through which will increase offspring.
My opinion, if she still young, she should consider remarry. Anyone can say "he/she will abstain from any form of adultery" but it is easier said than done. People will make unfounded fitna and most of the time I find women are the victim of fitna not men....therefore it is better for women to get married unless there is woman who feel her imaan is on par with Mariam or Aishah (may Allah be pleased with them both), then she may prefer not to get married.
I believe the question posted here must be due to some reasons why someone do not want to get married. Whatever is the reason, we must realised the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him), though he was the busiest man in the world at that point in time, was married and had children. Mothers of believers did get married. So we don't really have valid reason not to get married unless the person was having some kind of infectious diseases like AIDS or HIV.
In some community it is taboo for women to remarry and the community will mock any women remarried (modern days we seldom hear this anyway). Muslim, we should show the right way.
Pls accept my apology if I've said anything wrong.

this colored part is so untrue you know why because its men who rush to get married after they divorce or their wives die .:
:
and if i were her i wouldnt do that because i wouldnt like to bring a step father to my kids . and its not good at all for them . and if there arent kids i wouldnt marry again for his memory .:
:
and its known that women are more loyal than men you can make sure about this info .may be you should take a look around you and see who is more loyal than who .

The problem of this question is what I highlighted in red above. Muslims are forbidden from turning away from marriage on purpose. The prophet peace be upon him made that clear when he said, "Marriage is my way (Sunna) and whoever turns away from my way does not belong to me!"
A widow or divorcee may prefer not to remarry so she doesn't make her availability known and doesn't attract attention or interest. However, if a good Muslim man proposes to her, then this hadeeth probably applies to her, "If a man comes to you [seeking marriage] whose deen and character you approve of, then accept his marriage proposal!" He then recited, "If ye do not, there will be tumult in the land and big corruption." (8:73)
A good Muslim man is a blessing in the family. A Muslim woman should not shun a blessing. God knows best.
