I had to check "out of question", as it certainly isn't common these days. Apparently it means "without doubt". When something is "out of the question", it is in no way acceptable whatsoever. Absolutely no.

If someone says "that's out of the question", that means the answer is definitely "no". It means there is no question about it....no debate. It's a flat "no". "Out of question" does not have a meaning to me. It might mean someone is all out of questions, and has no more to ask.

"Out of the question" means absolutely not possible. "Out of question" means the same thing, but was used in the days of Shakespeare. It is not used any more. At least I've never seen it used. "Getting started before noon is out of the question. We have too much work to do." "Any deal is out of the question. Our demands must all be met."

I believe there is. 'Out of the question' means that you are off topic. 'Out of question' means that there is no way or no negociation possible. For example: This is out of question, I will not be going with you!!!! Hope this helps!!!
