Is it permissible to remove an extra finger with which a child is born next to his little finger?

It is not permissible to remove a supernumerary finger if it is healthy, because that is considered altering Allah's creation. An exception to this is if it causes unbearable harm or pain, in which case it is permissible to remove it.
