whether, whether or not
“Or not” is usually redundant unless you mean “irrespective”. In the phrase “I haven’t decided whether to go out or not” the “or not” adds no meaning and you’d probably do better to write only “I haven’t decided whether to go out”. But you might write, “I have decided to go out, whether or not it’s raining.” In this case the “or not” is needed.
