Whom do you ask is correct.

It is a matter of subjects and objects. Who is used grammatically as a subject when a nominative pronoun such as I or he can be used. Whom is the object of a preposition or a verb.

Think about it this way: which one is performing the action? Remember, the example sentence is a question, so is flipped around. If you were to make it a statement, ir might read instead, You ask whom.

I could bore you with a diagram of the sentence, but that wouldn't really help much. Think about who is performing the action (The subject predicates the object--You is doing the asking; whom is being asked.)
