An unskilled doctor operating

Q 7: Is it permissible for a doctor to perform surgery if he is not qualified, as sometimes is the case?

A: It is not permissible for a doctor to perform surgery if he is unqualified. This would be irresponsible and a transgression of the rights of others without a legal cause. If the doctor is not skilled and performs surgery which causes damage to the patient, he must compensate for any damage or harm done.
