We had a thread before on this 1.3 times the stall is just a figure it could be 1.2 or 1.4 or even higher
It is really a sensible margin over the stall which power off gives enough energy to transit from the approach profile to the landing configuration.
As others have said if you have a high drag machine 1.3 times the stall in a given configuration might not be adequate
