Can megillah reading be completely displaced by another mitzvah if doing both on that day is impossible?
Synopsis
If it is impossible to perform both the other mitzvah and megillah reading on the same day, megillah reading is not completely displaced (except met mitzva). The other mitzvah can be done, and megillah reading is postponed or performed later.
