No. This is a superstitious myth with no basis in fact. No animal has the power to cause a person's death simply by pointing a finger or any other body part at them.
3rd answer
That is just one of many myths from Malagasy culture. The Malagasy people have many taboo ( depending on the town or region. Fady about the Aye-aye is quite common and usually involves bad fortune or death. This likely derives from the Aye-aye's bizarre appearance and ancestral Polynesian culture that fears bizarre animals.
The fady is reinforced in the eyes of the Malagasy because of the country's poor living conditions and extreme social and economic hardships. (In other words, if people see an Aye-aye and believe it will result in someone's death, they only need to wait a few days, weeks, or months and someone will die from disease, starvation, etc... confirming the superstition.)
The truth is that these are strictly local superstitions. They have no basis in truth.
