Question about Indirect Question

Onh1986- I don't know where he lives.

Should I put "." or "?" or both are correct?

It is ridiculous to interpret what I said as it is not wrong to insert a question mark. When I say it is not required and yet you insist on doing what I advise against, you're doing the wrong thing.
