This would seem to me to be a problem with "passing over Mitzvot" (Ein
Me'avirin Al Hamitzvot), which is Mede'oraita, at least according to
many (based on the Tosfot in Yoma 33a). We sometimes allow a person to
delay a mitzvah if they are going to perform it in a more complete or
beautiful manner later - but to give up a mitzvah so another person can
keep it..? And who knows the reward for a Mitzvah - how can we say
which is more important? In a case such as this I am sure we cannot
judge what gives Nachat Ruach to Hashem. <br>
This is a Mitzvah which a person has to keep for themselves - the
person with the Matzah has the Mitzvah of eating the Matzah, and the
Gadol HaDor is anus. <br>
