In any case, the matter is almost explicit in the issue of Nedarim 8:1, that beyond the morning and evening chapters, the rest is permitted (and therefore an oath applies to it). Although the Rabbi there writes that this is a Midrash obligation and therefore an oath applies to it, but in the first chapter there he taught it literally. And see also the issue of Minchot, which is explained in my article here .
Of course, the intention is to study Torah beyond the minimum of one chapter in the morning and evening. —————————————————————————————— Asks: Quote from a reply by the Rabbi. The commandment to study Talmud Torah, beyond the morning and evening chapters, is, according to many, an existential commandment. Please indicate for me who they are? —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: I mentioned in my previous answer. All those who interpret the Gemara simply (without a “Kran”). See also my article that I linked there, where I explained that even those who talk about abrogating the Torah and the obligation to study all day are not necessarily dealing with the scope of the Torah commandments but rather with the Torah itself.
