To pose an inquiry.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Iranian schools, asking too many questions can sometimes be seen as challenging the teacher's authority, though this is changing in modern urban centers. In Dari (Persian of Afghanistan), 'so'āl kardan' is often more common than 'so'āl porsidan' in daily speech. Tajik Persian uses the Cyrillic script, so the phrase is written as 'Савол пурсед'. The usage remains very similar to Iranian Persian. In the diaspora (Tehrangeles, London), you might hear 'finglish' where people say 'Question porsidan' or 'Question kardan'.
The 'Az' Rule
Always remember 'Az' (from). You don't ask a person, you ask *from* a person. This is the #1 marker of a fluent speaker.
Polite Prefixes
Before asking a question to a stranger, always start with 'Bebakhshid' (Excuse me) to be polite.

Yes, 'Beporsid' alone often implies 'Ask [a question]'.
'So'āl' is more common in daily life; 'porsesh' is more formal and literary.
Say: 'Mishavad yek so'āl beporsam?' or 'Ejāze hast yek so'āl beporsam?'
Generally, Iranians are quite open, but it's best to avoid very personal questions about income or religion unless you are close friends.
