Which reply is correct to “Assalamualaikum”?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamualaikum
We say “Assalamualaikum” before talking.
But somepeople reply “Wassalamualaikum” and somepeople reply “Wa-alaikumus Salam”. I use to say second one. Which one is right?
Jazakallah

Answer
Bismihi Ta’ala

The second one is more correct. However, there is no harm in the former either, as the meaning is sound.

And Allah knows best
