- M.A. Islamic History, Ouzai University College (Lebanon), 2003

Research Interests:
Dr. Salkini’s work integrates classical usûl al-fiqh with contemporary legal and social questions. He explores the theological-juridical foundations of political authority, the rights of forced migrants under Islamic law, and the role of Arabic rhetoric in Qurʾānic interpretation. His recent projects include comparative constitutionalism and the development of fiqh curricula for Syrian safe-zone schools.
Publications Profile:
Across 20 authored books and 14 refereed articles since 2004, his output addresses four converging arenas: legal theory (usûl al-fiqh), political jurisprudence, refugee & migration law, and Qurʾānic studies. The temporal spread (2004-2025) and multilingual dispersion (Arabic, Turkish) reveal sustained engagement with both classical commentary and urgent regional issues such as Syrian displacement and governance in conflict zones.
