Does the one who turns away from the Book of his Lord and from the practice of His Messenger think that he will be saved from his Lord by the opinions of men?
الرِّجَالِ men?
A definite plural noun, 'men', completing the 'opinions of men' pair and genitive as the owner. The pairing makes the opinions merely human, set against the Lord they are vainly offered against. The contrast, men's opinions versus God, is the point of the whole question.
