What's the difference between "out of question" and "beyond the question"?

I don't think that either of these expressions exists. I have never heard them. The only correct expression is 'out of the question'. It's a more formal equivalent of 'No way!'. We would use this to say that a particular request cannot even be considered. For example, if you ask your boss if you can have some time off during an extremely busy and important week at work, he or she might answer, 'No, I'm sorry but that is out of the question.' If I were you, I would remember the phrase 'out of the question', and forget about the other two. I think they are mistakes, or possibly 'Chinglish'.

That's a great question, Alex! "Out of the question" usually refers to a request or task being out of reach. In other words, a request is impossible to fulfill. As for " beyond the question", I have never heard it used as an idiom before. I will follow this post to also learn what that means as an idiom.
