Pri Megadim (Peticha Hakolelet 2:28 and M"Z 480:1) writes that an onen is exempt from destroying his chametz. Shomrei Mitzvah ch. 11 fnt. 1 p. 124 questions this since osek bmitzvah doesn't exempt a person from the mitzvah of tashbitu (see further). He ends up explaining that the Pri Megadim could accept the Aruch Lner that only rabbinically osek bmitzvah doesn't apply and for the honor of the dead the rabbinic prohibition is waived. Shomrei Mitzvah writes that the Hagahot Rabbi Akiva Eiger 448 cites this Pri Megadim. | Pri Megadim (Peticha Hakolelet 2:28 and M"Z 480:1) writes that an onen is exempt from destroying his chametz.

* The Mishna Pesachim 49a states that if someone is going to do a mitzvah and has chametz if he has to choose between destroying his chametz or doing the mitzvah he should do bitul chametz and continue to do the mitzvah. In the afternoon when bitul chametz isn't possible, Maharam Chalavah, Meiri, Michtam, and Magen Avraham all hold that one should destroy one's chametz and not do the mitzvah. Why isn't osek bmitzvah relevant to continue to do the mitzvah? [https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=20961&st=&pgnum=20 Olot Shlomo Zevachim 19a s.v. pturin] answers that since not destroying one's chametz is a prohibition osek bmitzvah isn't relevant. Shomrei Mitzvah ch. 11 fnt. 1 questions this assumption that there is baal yiraeh on the afternoon of the 14th, which is the opinion of Rashi but most rishonim hold that it isn't the case (Raavad Chametz Umatzah 3:8, Maggid Mishna there in Rambam). | * The Mishna Pesachim 49a states that if someone is going to do a mitzvah and has chametz if he has to choose between destroying his chametz or doing the mitzvah he should do bitul chametz and continue to do the mitzvah.

* Regarding the mishna itself the Aruch Lener Sukkah 25a s.v. tos s.v. sheluchei wonders why if there's time to destroy one's chametz and do the mitzvah should interrupt one's mitzvah in order to destroy one's chametz. According to Tosfot since it is possible to destroy the chametz and return to the mitzvah one should do that. However, according to the Or Zaruah (Hagahot Ashri Sukkah 2:6) that someone traveling to do a mitzvah is exempt from another mitzvah even if it is possible to do the other one and return to this one, the question is valid. The Aruch Lner answers that in fact osek bmitzvah is relevant, however, the rabbis did not let him rely on the concept of osek bmitzvah since it is possible that he will come to eat chametz on Pesach because of this decision. Shomrei Mitzvah notes that this concepts seems to be rabbinic. | * Regarding the mishna itself the Aruch Lener Sukkah 25a s.v. tos s.v. sheluchei wonders why if there's time to destroy one's chametz and do the mitzvah should interrupt one's mitzvah in order to destroy one's chametz.
