I noticed that many people seek a short cut these days. When greeting, instead of saying “Assalamualaikum” they just say “Salam” …is this permissible?

When greeting , instead of saying “Assalamualaikum” they just say “Salam” … is this permissible? Also in sms’s and when chatting on the net, many people dont say “Assalamualaikum” but just say “salamz” adding a “z” at the end of “salam”… is this permissible?

To say Salam in place of the full Salaam is contrary to the Sunnah.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
