Ruku and sajdah when performing salaah while sitting on a chair

Q: When sitting in a chair to perform salaah, where must my hands be whilst I'm making my intention and making ruku, sajdah and after getting up from ruku? 

How low must I bow for ruku and sajdah?

A: Your hands will be on your thighs. 

You will bend forward slightly for ruku and slightly more for sajdah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
