The answer

To counter the fallacies of opponents, one must strive to seek knowledge, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Knowledge is acquired through learning." The one countering these fallacies should be firm in knowledge, broad in understanding, and able to distinguish between truth and falsehood. They should benefit from specialized books that refute fallacies, such as: "The Thirty Fallacies Raised to Deny the Prophetic Sunnah" by Abdul Azeem al-Mat'ani, "Quranists' Fallacies Regarding the Prophetic Sunnah" by Mahmoud Mazrou'a, and "Fallacies Concerning the Sunnah" by Abdul Razzaq Afifi, in addition to resources available online like "Al-Mufassal fi al-Radd 'ala Shubuhat A'da' al-Islam" (The Detailed Rebuttal of the Fallacies of the Enemies of Islam) by Ali bin Nayef al-Shahoud.
