"Seller: Sure, RM12. The chicken feet soup, I'll give it to you for free.
"Buyer: Alhamdulillah, thank you. May many good things befall you. Aamiin.
"But when [I] returned home to prepare for breaking fast, [I] looked at the soup?
"Okay, tomorrow I'm going back to the stall to take back my well wishes," the Facebook post wrote.

Another user tweeted, "Chicken claws should be removed (for those who are squeamish). You don't know what it has scratched. Even if it was clean, if the claw detaches and gets lodged in your throat, it becomes another issue."
