The answer

It is permissible for a woman to leave her house during her 'iddah (waiting period) after her husband's death for a legitimate purpose. It is also permissible for her to receive her husband's brother in her home, provided there is no unlawful seclusion (khalwa), no soft speech, and no display of adornment in front of him. Furthermore, communication with him should be limited to what is necessary, while maintaining proper decorum and dignity.
