What is the zakat on twelve camels in the Najran region, and is zakat obligatory for me, knowing that I spend on them from my own account and they are in a pen and graze two to three months a year?

Zakat is obligatory on camels if they reach five, and the amount is one sheep for every five until they reach twenty-five, at which point a Bint Makhad is due. However, if the camels are fed for most days of the year, there is no Zakat due on them according to the majority of scholars, while others hold that Zakat is obligatory on them even if they are fed only a little.
