Could u tell me when is the best time for me to ask personal question to stranger?
- Country or region Indonesia
Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Country or region United Kingdom
I'm not sure that there is a best time exactly. Usually you just have to use your own judgement of the situation and the stranger. There are so many variables there isn't one correct answer.
Can you give more details? Do you mean online, or someone you bump into? Also, some personal questions are much more personal than others, what kind of question are you thinking of?

@denyusnainggolan14 - OK, well that would still depend on the type of question and how personal it is.
What you can say to them first is, 'would you mind if I ask you a personal question?'
