Is retaliation permissible when a hand with nails cuts a hand that possesses nails but they are green or undeveloped?

Primary text

If the severed hand possessed nails, but they were green or undeveloped (described as 'mustahshafah'), the whole sound hand is taken in retaliation. This condition is considered a defect or ailment, and ailment does not prevent Qisas, evidenced by the rule that a sound person is held accountable for injury against an infirm person.
