Removal of extra digits

Question

Is it permissible to have extra fingers or toes removed? Please note that the condition does not cause any physical pain but does result in severe psychological distress.

Answer

Yes, it is permissible to have extra fingers or toes removed. This does not fall under the prohibited alteration of Allah’s creation because they are not part of the body's natural form.

And Allah Almighty knows best.
