Question Detail:

I have seen in your reply that you said Wassalam in last.  Is is ok to greets/reply incomplete?  Many people write word Salam/AOA/Assalam and reply Wsalam, ws etc.  What is the sunnaah please.

Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is mubah (permitted) to say Salaam when greeting. However, the sunnah is to include Alaykum after the word Salaam (Fataawa Rahimiyya Vol.10 Page 131)
And Allah knows best
Wassalam
