Yes, it is okay to kill a main character.
But be careful, readers experience the story you've written through your characters. Killing a character could effectively shut one the windows your reader views the world though.
However, there's nothing about death which forces a character's presence to vanish from your story and your reader to lose that vehicle of experience. There are many tools at your disposal, including flashbacks, time travel, the supernatural, journals, videos, prologues, and the list goes on.
