I want to know the answer to the following question:
What do scholars that specialize in the medieval period describe madaris as?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Medievalist specialists who define the university as a legally autonomous corporation disagree with the term "university" for the Islamic madaris and jāmi‘ahs because the medieval university (from Latin universitas) was structurally different, being a legally autonomous corporation rather than a waqf institution like the madrasa and jāmiʻah.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
