Question

Water that drips from the air conditioner into a bowl: some dripped before Shabbat and some on Shabbat. Is it permitted, and is it nullified?

Answer

It is forbidden, since one kind in its own kind is not nullified in a case of "davar she-yesh lo matirin". Only if they put wine into the bowl and the water from the air conditioner drips onto it is it permitted.
