Summary
Practising verse 9 of Surah Yasin as a means of protection is permissible, as it follows the example of the Prophet SAW when he left to migrate while his house was surrounded.

In general, using Quranic verses for healing and protection, and as a means when making supplication for needs, is allowed by Islamic law.
