Chapter 1, Mishna 1

How do we know that the mitzvah of yibum overrides the prohibition on marrying your brother’s wife/widow, but doesn’t override the prohibition on marrying your wife’s sister? When does a positive mitzvah override a negative mitzvah (a prohibition), and when does it not? May we wear wool tzitzit on a linen garment? Do we? (different question) How do the Sages derive laws from the Torah via juxtaposition of verses and “free” phrases?
