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.

Then what should be the answer?

I think 'whether' is the best answer.

@Aditi.
According to me, (if/whether) is generally used for sense like a question.
And here if we use (if/whether) it makes a question. But member has doubt so simply use "that".
If there would be "asked" in place of "doubt" then we might use (if/whether) because "asked" make a question.

Really I didn't understand it. Can anyone explain me?

It is a direct and indirect conversion. It's indirect form.

Tell me when I use "if" and when I use "whether".

If you really doubt that something is true (suspect that it's false), use "doubt that" I doubt that Fred has really lost 25 pounds. If you want to express uncertainty, use "whether" I doubt whether we'll see the comet if the clouds don't clear soon. "Doubt if can be substituted for "doubt whether, though it's considered somewhat more casual, but don't use it when you mean "doubt that".

@Aayam, where is a redundancy?
In redundancy, there must be a duplication of words.
