The data were analysed using document and content analysis. The study found that Islamic ethics treatment permitted the treatment of bee venom (BV) with four conditions, namely get advice from a medical professional, no alternative medicine for the disease encountered, treatment only when needed, and no allergic reaction to BV. This is because some studies are claiming that BVT can gives adverse effects on patients if there is no guidance provided by a specialist. Therefore, the advice of a specialist in BVT is important to prevent any harm to the patient.
