We introduce a Gaussian convergence factor $e^{-t|u|^2/2}$ that makes all integrals absolutely convergent, rewrite the resulting expression as a spatial convolution with the Gaussian density $g_t$ (using [Fubini](/theorems/513) and the explicit Fourier transform of a Gaussian), recognise this as an approximation to the identity, and pass to the limit $t \to 0$ using the Dominated Convergence Theorem. The $L^1$ approximation property gives a.e. convergence along a subsequence, and DCT on the Fourier side gives full convergence.

[step:Define the Gaussian-regularised inversion integral $I_t(x)$]
For $t > 0$, define
\begin{align*}
I_t(x) = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \hat{f}(u)\,e^{-i\langle u, x\rangle}\,e^{-t|u|^2/2}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u).
\end{align*}
Since $|\hat{f}(u)| \leq \|f\|_1$ (by the [Riemann-Lebesgue Lemma](/theorems/526)) and $e^{-t|u|^2/2}$ is integrable, the product is in $L^1$, so $I_t(x)$ is well-defined.

[step:Rewrite $I_t(x)$ as the Gaussian convolution $(f * g_t)(x)$]
[claim:Regularised Integral Equals Gaussian Convolution]
$I_t(x) = (f * g_t)(x)$ where $g_t(z) = (2\pi t)^{-d/2} e^{-|z|^2/(2t)}$.
[/claim]
[proof]
Substitute $\hat{f}(u) = \int f(y)\,e^{i\langle u, y\rangle}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(y)$ into $I_t(x)$.
The double integral is absolutely convergent: $\|f\|_1 \cdot (2\pi/t)^{d/2} < \infty$.
By [Fubini's theorem](/theorems/513), exchange the order:
\begin{align*}
I_t(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} f(y)\left(\frac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} e^{i\langle u, y - x\rangle}\,e^{-t|u|^2/2}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u)\right) d\mathcal{L}^d(y).
\end{align*}
Completing the square gives $\int e^{i\langle u, z\rangle} e^{-t|u|^2/2}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u) = (2\pi/t)^{d/2} e^{-|z|^2/(2t)}$.
Setting $z = y - x$:
\begin{align*}
\frac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int e^{i\langle u, y-x\rangle}\,e^{-t|u|^2/2}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u) = g_t(y - x).
\end{align*}
Therefore $I_t(x) = (f * g_t)(x)$.

[step:Show Gaussian convolutions approximate $f$ in $L^1$]
[claim:Gaussian Approximation To Identity]
$\|f * g_t - f\|_1 \to 0$ as $t \to 0$.
[/claim]
[proof]
Since $g_t \geq 0$ and $\int g_t\,d\mathcal{L}^d = 1$,
\begin{align*}
\|f * g_t - f\|_1 \leq \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \omega(y)\,g_t(y)\,d\mathcal{L}^d(y),
\end{align*}
where $\omega(y) = \|f(\cdot - y) - f(\cdot)\|_1$ is the $L^1$ translation modulus.
Since $\omega(y) \to 0$ as $y \to 0$, $\omega(y) \leq 2\|f\|_1$, and $g_t$ concentrates at the origin as $t \to 0$, the standard approximation-to-the-identity argument gives $\int \omega(y)\,g_t(y)\,d\mathcal{L}^d(y) \to 0$.
[/proof]
[/step]
[step:Pass to the limit $t \to 0$ using DCT and $L^1$ convergence]
Since $\hat{f} \in L^1$ by hypothesis, the integrand in $I_t(x)$ is dominated by $|\hat{f}(u)| \in L^1$.
As $t \to 0$, the integrand converges pointwise to $\hat{f}(u)\,e^{-i\langle u, x\rangle}$.
By DCT,
\begin{align*}
I_t(x) \to \frac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \hat{f}(u)\,e^{-i\langle u, x\rangle}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u) \quad \text{for every } x.
\end{align*}
By the previous steps, $I_t = f * g_t \to f$ in $L^1$, so there exists a subsequence $t_k \to 0$ with $(f * g_{t_k})(x) \to f(x)$ a.e.
Since the full limit exists from DCT, convergence holds along the full net:
\begin{align*}
f(x) = \frac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \hat{f}(u)\,e^{-i\langle u, x\rangle}\,d\mathcal{L}^d(u) \quad \text{for } \mathcal{L}^d\text{-a.e. } x.
\end{align*}
