Probably yes! Sometimes a question in very valuable but people here cannot answer it, or those who can answer it didn't come across it. Of course, you never know who is going to come across your question, so of course it's worth asking and taking your chance on it.
Anyway, most useless questions are the ones that get many answers and never go unanswered.
This is if I were to understand your question as:
Are questions which get posted here and get no answer worth asking?
However, if you are talking about a question that literally has no answer like: Who came first, the chicken or the egg?
Then I'd respond differently.
But I'd still say that it's worth asking. Of course you won't get an answer for your question, but you may get one or two answers which are really worth reading because the question was answered from a philosophical point of view. This will really add to your knowledge even if you didn't get an answer.
By the way, sometimes, the aim of a question is to make someone think critically rather than to get an answer. Certainly, those questions are worth asking!

absolutely! first of all, how do u know if a question has an answer if the question wasnt at 1 point or another asked? and even if the question has been asked already, perhaps it was the audience in which the question was presented that could not find the answer. long story short: ask all the questions u can think of, u never know when the answer will come along.

When you ask a question you expect an answer. So why waste
your time asking a question that has no answer. If you do that
then you will be the one to have a problem, not the person
you expect an answer from. He will just shrug his shoulders
and you will be wondering if there really is an answer to
your question.

Yes. Having no answer means that it hasn't been considered before. I would call it a pioneer question. Or, to boldly go where no man has gone before. We can only have questions when our minds have accepted something besides the all too available dogma. New ground asks.

If an answer has no question, is it worth stating?
Still, most koans turn out to be nonsense dressed up as profound in order to confuse people.

Is WHAT worth asking?

Always is the answer. Now what's the question?

More so than a question with an obvious answer.

Apparently not. Madeline Bassett doesn't like it, and the whole world is according to her, right?
