May one learn Torah after midday on Tishe Beav?[1]
No. However, set lessons of Torah study which have been instituted by Tzaddkim to be learned each day, may be learned after midday. Thus, Chitas[2] and Chok Yisrael may be studied after midday by Mincha time. Other subjects of Torah may not be studied. One does not recite the daily Rambam until Motzei Tisha B’AV.[3]

Other Poskim: Some Poskim rule it is to be completed only the next day. [Shaar HaTziyon 554:11; Mishmeres Shalom 40; Kaf Hachaim 554:19]

[3] Morah Shiur of Rambam [edited by Rebbe] writes to study Rambam on Motzei Tishe Beav; Hiskashrus; Hilchos Uminhagei Chabad [Ginzberg] p. 284 footnote 94; Likkut of Rabbanbei Chabad Israel
The reason: Although it is a set daily study, nonetheless seemingly the Rebbe initially established in for after Tisher Beav as a stringency against learning Torah on Tishe Beav. [Rav Ginzberg ibid]
