However, one individual left a comment on Facebook that has attracted so much attention that it went viral and spread on other social media platforms.
The comments left by the man angered many netizens because he did not seem to have any sympathy for what had happened.
Among those who rebuked him was the lawyer and activist Siti Zabedah Kasim, better known as Siti Kasim.
Mamat yang buat komen ni memang hati bangkai. Dia takkan ada keturunan macam @adibahnoor nyer. Keturunan dia semua bangang macam dia jugak. Tak mungkin keturunan dia akan sama dgn level Adibah Noor. Mana mungkin kerbau lahirkan anak singa. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/uI9QWlQyTs

Words Are Powerful Weapons And Can Do A Lot Of Damage
The man left a comment allegedly reprimanding the deceased’s aurat.
Netizens felt that it was unnecessary at all; moreover, the choice of words was excessive.
Not only that but there was another rude male individual who also reprimanded the deceased’s aurat.
He felt disgusted when the media portals published news about the deceased.
Aurat means intimate parts. In fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), it means part of the body in a person that is required to be concealed or protected from the sight of non-mahram.
In Islamic law, mahram means a person whom you are not allowed to marry, and it is permissible to see them without a headscarf and shake their hands and hug them if you like.
kita tak tahu bila kita akan dijemput ilahi. sungguh, aku terkesan dengan berita adibah noor meninggal. ya, perwatakan beliau murni. tapi sayang, cara pakaian beliau. jika ada pihak tak bertanggungjawab siarkan berita kematian beliau dengan tak menutup aurat ? terus mengalir dosa

Online Firestorm
Meanwhile, netizens did mince their words in rebuking the man.
Netizens said he should have discussed and presented viewpoints in a reasonable way, instead of speaking inappropriately.
They also told him to respect people who had just passed away and not mock them when family and friends going are going through difficulties and discomfort.
Some even messaged him directly to voice their displeasure.
Netizens also dug up the past comments and posts made by him which were inappropriate, to say the least.
Yall dk how disrespectful it is to edit a hijab/censor their body despite them wearing as modestly as they can.

Don’t do that to Adibah Noor. Yall wishing her peace but yall are not giving her any peace by pointing out her aurat. Just shut up.
Meanwhile, it appears that he had backed away from the criticism and even deleted his social media accounts.
Netizens said the online backlash should serve as a reminder to him not to count other people’s sins.
the way semenanjung melei men talk about Allahyarham Adibah Noor’s sin for not covering aurat is straight up disgusting, man istg. ‘ko tengok boleh ke tak jawab malaikat dalam kubur.’
