Have you ever wondered whether (or not?) you need to put an (or not) after whether?
Often, the (or not) is just extra fluff and should be left off.
e.g. Ali didn't know whether Ahmed was coming.
in this sentence adding (or not) wouldn't change the meaning or emphasis.
On the other hand, you need the full phrase whether or not when you mean “regardless of whether.” It shows that there is equal emphasis on both options.
e.g Call Ahmed whether or not you are going to arrive on Friday.
