No, @Ayaam.
The mistake is we can't use if in a declarative sentence. That is used.
And this concept is from direct indirect speech.

According to me there is nothing wrong in this sentence, as 'if' is used to express uncertainty, and it is used here for the same.

This sentence is in indirect speech. If is used mainly for interrogative sentences. So here expressed should be followed by that.

Why "if" is wrong?in this sentence one of the members expressed doubt he is not sure when how can we say "that".

Chartex explained correctly, we should not use that after the word doubt, we should use only if or whether.
