He says: “Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has granted me two children, and each of these children has twenty-four extra fingers. What is your opinion, O honorable one, if I had them cut off at the doctor’s?”

The questioner : He says: “And after that, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has granted me two children, and each of these children has twenty-four extra fingers.”
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah.
The questioner : What is your opinion, O honorable one, if I had them cut off at the doctor? We ask you, O honorable one, to provide us with a ruling on this question, but with great thanks?
The Shaykh : The scholars have mentioned in this issue that it is not permissible to cut off the extra finger, and it appears that this is not permissible because of the danger it poses to the owner of the finger.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : In our time, the danger is, praise be to Allah, minimal, and the likelihood of harm is remote. Therefore, what we see is that there is nothing wrong with cutting off the extra fingers that deform the natural structure in this case. However, if they are extra fingers but do not deform the natural structure, then what should be done is to leave them as they are. Yes.
