no questions asked

Accepting without explanation

No questions asked describes a transaction or agreement where the other party won't inquire about circumstances, motives, or history.

It often appears in contexts where such questions might be awkward or incriminating: Return the stolen goods, no questions asked.

The phrase signals discretion—a willingness to overlook what might otherwise raise concerns: We offer cash for gold, no questions asked.
