grammaticality - "Do you ever see him anymore"—can "ever" and "anymore" be used in the same phrase like this?

In a group chat today, I wrote "Do you ever see him anymore" and one of my peers pointed out it wasn't grammatically sound. I found nothing wrong with that statement, but he went on to state the issue was with my use of ever and anymore in the same sentence. He was unable to explain any further why it would be wrong, and I can understand that since like most people, I can usually identify poor grammar simply because it does not "sound right" while unable to explain why.



If there is something wrong with that phrase, can someone please explain why?
