Ruling on removing an extra finger or tooth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What is the ruling on an extra finger in the hand or an extra tooth? Is it removed, or is it left as it is?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, this falls under the category of treatment, especially if the person is harmed by this extra tooth or finger. Removing it is a form of treatment, and there is no harm in that. However, it should not be removed by anyone other than specialists who are truthful, so that no harm occurs, or that the surgical wound does not spread and cause greater harm. Does he sit, or not? Can he achieve the least amount of harm? Yes.
