The Masonic fraternity has no position whatsoever on circumcision.
Nor does the fraternity have any position on ear-piercing (or any kind of body-piercing), tattoos, hair styles or facial hair, what kind of eye-glasses you should or should not wear, etc.
Individual Freemasons, who may be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc., may be guided on the matter by their own personal and/or religious convictions, but not because of their membership as Freemasons.
Most Freemasons would find this question to be pretty "off the wall."
