Is zakah obligatory on camels that their owner feeds and that graze on the land?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have thirty-one camels. They are tethered until morning, and we leave them to graze from morning until afternoon if there is anything available. I also spend on their food on a monthly basis. Is there zakah on them?

Answer:
If you feed them for most of the lunar year, there is no zakah on them. However, if the feeding is minimal and grazing and browsing from the land is the norm, then there is zakah on them.
