To take the idea for granted. That means the fact/answer is so true that it will be valid in all the situation, and you will take that fact/answer for granted. Once you take the answer for granted, you are now inquiring the question unnecessarily.

Take for granted or assume the truth of the very thing being questioned. For example, Shopping now for a dress to wear to the ceremony is really begging the question she hasn't been invited yet.

This idioms means, that we have assumed that this thing will happen for sure eg she has purchased new dress without being invited.

Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true or (directly or indirectly) assume that the conclusion is true.
