The answer

A Muslim must be content with Allah's divine decree and destiny. If the extra finger is fully sensitive, touching the private parts with it nullifies ablution, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Whoever touches his private parts must perform ablution." Cutting it off necessitates a tenth of the blood money, and for a knuckle, a third of a tenth, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Fingers are equal, ten camels each." The extra finger is like any other finger; no special religious ruling applies to its divisions.
