The process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to D_s^{*+}{D}_{s0}^{*}(2317{)}^{-}+\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{c}.$ is observed for the first time with the data sample of $567{\mathrm{pb}}^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=4.6\mathrm{GeV}$. The statistical significance of the $D_{s0}^{*}(2317{)}^{\pm }$ signal is $5.8\sigma$ and the mass is measured to be $(2318.3\pm 1.2\pm 1.2)\mathrm{MeV}/c^2$. The absolute branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(D_{s0}^{*}(2317{)}^{\pm }\to {\pi }^0{D}_s^{\pm })$ is measured as ${1.00}_{-0.14}^{+0.00}(\text{stat}{)}_{-0.14}^{+0.00}(\text{syst})$ for the first time. The uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.
