He educated privately and became 3rd Velihad from 13 August 1909 and Major-General of the Imperial Ottoman Army. He received the Collar of the Hanedan-ı-Ali-Osman and the Nişan-ı-Ali-Imtiyaz.
Şehzade Mehmed Selaheddin spent most of his life in enforced confinement in Çırağan Palace, Ortaköy in İstanbul.
