I just wanted to know if you can make friends with non-believers?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org
Answer

There are different types of association in Shari’ah. a) Mu’aamalaat
(dealing), b) Muwaasaat (sympathetic), c) Mustaaraat (kind), d) Muwaalaat
(hearty friendship).

The first 3 types of association are permissible. The fourth type, i.e. very
close relationship is strictly prohibited with a non-Muslim as there is a
fear of being influenced against Islamic values and principles.
